🎓✨ MAKING HISTORY AT AGAPE! ✨🎓
We are incredibly proud to recognize Shakeena Tuten, the first Agape Health Services team member to successfully complete the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) program!
Shakeena has made history within our organization by being the first to complete this rigorous professional development program. To honor this tremendous accomplishment, her colleagues surprised her with a special graduation ceremony and celebration! 💐🎉
Through these programs, Shakeena has strengthened her clinical medical assisting skills while also gaining specialized knowledge to support integrated behavioral health services, including behavioral health screening, care coordination, trauma-informed communication, and whole-person care.
Shakeena is a humble spirit, a dedicated professional, and truly a joy to work with. Her commitment to learning and serving our patients reflects the very best of Agape. We could not be prouder of her!
We are also excited to announce that three additional Agape colleagues will participate in the next cohort, continuing to strengthen our workforce and expand access to high-quality, integrated care throughout the rural and underserved communities we serve.
Thank you to the North Carolina Community Health Center Association, ApprenticeshipNC, and the North Carolina Community College System for investing in the professional growth of medical assistants and helping community health centers build a stronger healthcare workforce.
Please join us in congratulating Agape’s history-maker, Shakeena Tuten! Your hard work has paid off, and this is only the beginning. We are so incredibly proud of you! 💚💛
